The village chief was walking around the village with his grandchildren, his hands behind his back. From a distance, he saw his eldest son running towards him in a hurry, "Dad, Dad, something happened."
Wang Jianping stopped panting, gasping for breath and speaking incoherently, "Dad, Tai, someone from the Sunflower Brigade is here. They say someone in their brigade has been bitten by a snake, and they need help from the educated youth Meng."
In the eyes of everyone in several brigades, if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will definitely die unless you are sent to a large hospital in time.
But Meng Zhiyu broke this fact. The day after she rescued Goudan and Tiedan, the news spread quickly.
It has become a hot topic in every brigade. In the past, when someone was bitten by a snake, the whole family would either do their best to send the person to the hospital, or the person would just wait to die at home.
Now that there is another option that can save lives without spending money, I think most people will choose this option.
The village chief looked stern. Rumors spread and changed as they spread. Outsiders thought it was easy for Meng Zhiyu to save people.
However, those who saw it with their own eyes knew that it was because the man stayed up all night and risked his life to go up the mountain to retrieve the medicine that saved the two children's lives.
The village chief asked his eldest son to take the child home, and he went to meet the people from the Sunflower Brigade. He said that the child had to be saved, but there had to be a set of rules.
The leader was the team leader, followed by several young men, who were carrying a man holding his legs and screaming in pain with rags. There were also two women following beside them, who should be the mother and daughter-in-law of the bitten man.
The Sunflower Brigade leader took a few steps forward and took the village chief's hands. "Brother Wang, it's been a long time since we last met. I came here today to ask for help from Meng Zhiqing, the educated youth in your brigade who can detoxify snake venom, to save someone."
The village chief looked a bit embarrassed. "If it can be saved, of course we will save him. But she had already agreed with the child's family when she prescribed the medicine that day. She wasn't sure either. The chance was at most 50%."
After all, it is a human life, and he must save it if he can, but as the village chief he also has to make it clear what needs to be said.
Thinking of this, he seemed not to notice the change in the Sunflower Team Leader's expression. "Those two children were on the verge of death. Their families wrote a letter of guarantee in advance just to take a gamble. Whether they can be saved or not has nothing to do with Meng Zhiqing."
Before the Sunflower Brigade leader could say anything, the old woman next to him started cursing, "You can't save him by yelling like that. Doesn't that educated young man Meng know medical skills? My son must be cured, or I'll make her pay with her life."
Zhou's mother and others who had heard the news came running over just happened to hear this. Aunt Wang took two quick steps and surpassed Zhou's mother, "How can you be so unreasonable, old woman? You're begging for help and you're so confident. Hurry and send your son to the hospital. Meng Zhiqing doesn't have that much ability. I will make sure your son doesn't die."
Mother Zhou ran a few steps and finally arrived. She pushed Mrs. Wang aside with her buttocks and pinched her waist, saying, "Yes, I am the grandmother of those two children. Not only did our whole family sign a letter of guarantee, we also gave them a big red envelope."
This means that if you want Meng Zhiqing to treat you, you not only have to sign a guarantee but also pay him.
The old woman nearly exploded when she saw the two people cursing at her. "That educated young woman Meng has medical skills, so she treats and waits on people. If she doesn't cure my son today, I'm going to sue her for deliberately killing my son."
She even wants to ask her for money. Bah! If her son is suspected of being harmed, she will ask Meng Zhiyu for money.
Zhou Songbai stood not far away, watching this scene. Thinking of the back of Meng Zhiyu riding a bicycle that he had seen that morning, he lowered his head and touched Goudan's head. "Go to the educated youth's yard and call over a few of your sister Meng's good friends. Do you know who they are?"
After his two younger brothers were saved by Meng Zhiyu, Goudan considered her his biological sister. Hearing someone scold her, he became angry and nodded vigorously, "I know."
"Then go quickly." Meng Zhiyu herself was not there, so she could only ask her friends to help out a little.
Meng Zhiyu didn't know that her "backyard" was also on fire. She was standing with her hands on her hips, looking at the old man lying on the ground performing. Zheng Rourou was very angry, "Uncle, you are too unreasonable. We didn't even touch you."
The old man kept saying “ouch”, “It’s obvious that you guys think I walk too slowly and pushed me on purpose. Oh, pity me, an old man. I came to the hospital alone and got bullied like this.”
There were already quite a few people watching around, looking at the old man lying on the ground pitifully with a painful look on his face, and they were talking about it.
"You two girls, don't you have any elderly people at home? How could you do such a thing?"
"Who says it's not? The old man is not immune to falls. This time, I'm afraid he must have fallen pretty hard."
"You two little girls, stop standing there like idiots. Hurry up and send someone to see a doctor."
Meng Zhiyu looked at those who were unaware of the truth and yet were blaming them. "Did you see us push him? Just because he's old and looks pitiful, don't you really want to blame us?"
Zheng Rourou's face flushed with anger. "That's right, you said we pushed her, do you have any evidence?"
She felt a little guilty, thinking that if she hadn't insisted on dragging Meng Zhiyu to the hospital, she wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing.
An old lady with triangular eyes looked at the two of them with disdain, "How come it wasn't you who pushed him? Did he just lie on the ground?"
Zheng Rourou was furious, "He was lying there by himself."
When these words came out, no one believed them and the accusations became louder. Meng Zhiyu looked at the old man on the ground and asked, "Are you going to admit it yourself, or wait for me to find evidence and force you to admit it?"
The old man raised his head slightly to look at her, and smiled smugly behind the onlookers, but said, "Girl, if you don't want to pay, I, an old man, won't make things difficult for a little kid like you. You can go now."
